One option is copy the file /etc/xdg/menus/xfce-applications.menu to
~/.config/menus and edit that file by hand.  It's a standard XML file.

For instance, to disable the "Games" submenu, find the menu named "Games" in
the file and remove it or comment out the corresponding lines.

To add entries in the menu you need to create a desktop file.

I know this solution is far from ideal, but since there isn't any menu
editor available I'm afraid it's the only way.
